well i check ph all the time and my meter says 7 to 7.5 so i keep feeding with 6.0 6.5 ph'd water and they seem to get lower each time but it comes right back up by the next watering. maybe its my ph reader cause i thought that it seemed wierd i had to keep setting water to 6.5 - 6.0 and the soil never reaches 6.5 which was my goal

yea i have this tester i got thats 3-in-1 tester it shows lumens, ph, and moisture content. it was like $5 and has two metal prongs that go in the dirt. its made really cheap but the local hydro store doesnt have anything better which was really odd imo i figured there would be a more accurate way to test soil for ph. I can get some lime from Home depot if thats what you think will help. Oh and for the spider mites i could see them so i looked everywhere and killed them all and didnt see them since. i trimmed leaves and smashed them.

no pest strips for 2 days, will kill them, put them in a ziplock bag, reuse in about 10 days when the next eggs hatch. They will kill them, and not very healthy for you to breath for extended periods of time, need to be use in a well ventilated area. turn the fans off at night and it will zap them. quick fix.

lowes or home depot for about 7 bucks, it has the same shit flea collars have it but stronger. They work and fast. acute expoe is fie but not healthy for humans either. my garden is in my garage so i dont care. I don't have anything crawling in mine.

Make sure its dolimite lime and you want the powder not the pellets. If you can only find pellets then you can crush them in a coffee grinder or something.

Beats the hell out of spraying with nasty oils and such.
